OPERATING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

1. Insert the power plug into a 220-240V power outlet
   NOTE When using the toaster for the first time, we suggest toasting on the maximum setting without bread. The toaster may emit a thin smoke or distinct odour on initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the toaster.

2. Place bread, bagels, English muffins etc into each of the toasting slots.

3. There are 12 browning settings ranging from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘5’ (darkest).

4. To start the toasting process, press down the lever until it locks into place.

5. Once the toasting cycle is complete the toast ready alert will sound.

WARNING Do not leave the toaster unattended when in use as toast may jam.
In the unlikely event that bread, bagels, English muffins or toaster pastries become jammed in the toasting slots, all the buttons and the LED toasting progress indicator will flash and the elements will turn off. Remove the power plug from the power outlet and allow the toaster to cool completely before carefully easing the bread out of the slots. Take care not to damage the heating elements. Do not use metal utensils.

A BIT MORE™ BUTTON
If your toast comes up too light, one press of this button adds a little extra toasting time. This feature can be selected before, during or after the toasting cycle and can be used with the CRUMPET/FRUIT LOAF and FROZEN functions. To use this feature during the toasting cycle: Press the A BIT MORE™ button. The toasting time will automatically increase. To use this feature before or after the toasting cycle: Press the A BIT MORE™ button. Press down the lever until it locks into place. The LED toasting progress indicator will automatically align with the lowest browning setting.

1. Place the crumpet into the toasting slots with the inside of the crumpet facing inwards as per the crumpet markings above the middle heating elements of the toaster.
2. Select the desired browning setting by adjusting the browning control slide on the front of the toaster.
3. To select the CRUMPET setting, press the CRUMPET button and press down the lever until it locks into place.
4. After the cycle has finished, press the CRUMPET button to deselect the setting if toasting other types of bread.

4. The browning settings range from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘5’ (darkest).
5. To start the toasting process, press down the A QUICK LOOK™ lever until it locks into place.

HIGH LIFT LEVER
The lever can be lifted approximately 1cm above the starting position. This raises the carriage making it easier to remove smaller items such as English muffins.

CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE

CARE AND CLEANING
Remove the power plug from the power outlet and allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning. To clean any crumbs from the toaster, remove the crumb tray, located on the left side of the toaster, opposite to the lever. Empty and replace the crumb tray before using the toaster again. Replace the crumb tray by sliding it inwards until it locks into position. To remove any additional crumbs, turn the toaster upside down over a trash bin and shake crumbs free. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a slightly dampened soft cloth then polish with a soft dry cloth to dry completely.

NOTE Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts creating an electric shock hazard.

STORAGE
Remove the power plug from the power outlet and allow the toaster to cool completely before storing. Follow the directions for cleaning and store in an upright position on a flat surface on a bench top or in an accessible cupboard. Do not store anything on top of the toaster.
WARNING Do not use the toaster without the crumb tray in position. Do not allow crumbs to build up in the crumb tray. Failure to clean the crumb tray regularly may result in a fire hazard and damage the toaster.
